My Secret Garden - a Double Lento

There’s a garden deep inside of me Where there are seeds of variety There are three special seeds with names Care, happiness and equanimity. I slip into my secret garden Spy on the beauties of the flowers I sprinkle water of imagination Try to plant the new seeds for hours. Seeds that I plant are words Proceed then to put them in order fair Reread to make a perfect sentence Indeed it’s my poetical lair. I read through time and again High into my firmament of mind Nigh draws the composition Thereby hangs the secret to find.
